Novus Prime: Escalation fans take note: Our friends over at Hellfire Games are ready to hook you up with the exclusive Pirate Chainsword weapon. Originally salvaged from the ruins of an old pirate stronghold, the Novus Prime engineers have re-examined and perfected the pirate technology to bring you this fantastic new item. Since no pilot should ever be caught unarmed, the folks at Novus Prime have decided to outfit everyone with this weapon absolutely free. All you’ve got to do is head over to their promo page and join the Hellfire Games mailing list. Not only will you get a voucher for your own Pirate Chainsword but you’ll also be kept in the loop about any cool new stuff coming from the Hellfire Games team.

Enjoy the cool weather in style with these fashionable coats, courtesy of your friends on the PlayStation Home Community Management team.

Will we have anything to celebrate this month with Halloween-Themed Events or Virtual Items such as costumes, etc? I HOPE you will bring back fans’ favorite of 2007, 2008 or 2009 Witch costumes, Vampire costumes or anything that are Halloween-Related themes… Please bring them back from what we missed back then. Be fair. Don’t say… It was done back then, there is nothing we can do now. Do something about that. Ask people what they would love to see favorite costumes return for this year…

By the way, I know you plan to have new PS HOME which should be released soon, right? What about existing places such as Central Plaza, Move Theater, Bowling Alley? Can we choose whatever we want to go or will they all be completely removed permanently?

Very interested in Sodium One. the Horror bundle appears..Good timing Sir. Also gotta check out the Extra life web portal. Anything for a child. Also thank you to the community managers for these Coats..I really like the looks of them..I appreciate that! Also,don’t forget to wear your pink this month Home.

Will the “blue screen” issues people have been having with spaces such as Aurora Island and The Mall be fixed this week? I’m pretty bummed about missing out on earning Aurora XP not being able to enter my space and all.

Yeah what halo ask. For the past few day, ive tried almost every public space. All of mine were blue, immediately fall through into nothingness. only 2 worked, My aurora personal space had the ground, but everything else was blue. and that jet ski place was blue on day one for me

Hiya Locust_Star. Do you know if any Home content developers will be partnering with any charities this year for Breast Cancer Awareness Month? Would love to buy more BCA items like the Brees Dreams jersey or Save the Ta-tas!

I would have put it in the suggestion thread, but it’s the 5th of the month and we don’t have one yet! :p *hint hint*

Question: About the Play Games Heal Kids Program. I register already. When the code is gonna be given out? btw this is very cool I will be playing for 25 on the Saturday marathon. So I ask if Home is part of this then if we are on Home does that qualify for a game?

Finally, No Hideous Tshirts as Rewards for going to the Community Theater .
Im sure the HUB is not going to be up and running by the time Halloween gets here, so my question is , is Central Plaza going to have a Halloween theme ?
Again , i decorated my TYCOON PENTHOUSE , which has 2 floors and a kitchen and what do you know….i hit the 50 items or less mark, leaving the second floor with almost nothing .
The Southern Island …..from side to side the beach part is way too small, everything else is fine
althought it lags a lot .

Can you give some more detail about how Sodium 1, Sodium 2, Salt Shooter, and Project Velocity are different and connected? I really enjoy Salt Shooter, and entered the game from the Sodium 1 space. I haven’t checked out Sodium 2 because I’m not into racing games. Is it similar, in that Sodium 2 is a public space, and Project Velocity is the game available? Now with this Sodium 1 space, I’m thoroughly confused!
When I return to play Salt Shooter, will it be the same as before, or is it now a completely free-to-play game?
Also, is the tabletop Salt Shooter an active piece for a personal space?
I like the theme and the games, but what would be great is if there were one Sodium space with both of the games.

While I’m not saying Home avatars are so advanced graphically that they are lifelike in how they act, the fact that they aren’t cartoonish may be the reason you feel this way. Have you heard of The Uncanny Valley? Check this out:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uncanny_valley

@Thew902, i got my voucher code pretty quick, got the code, but now i’m too stupid as to how to get the item. in the email they attached…as i opened the attachment, something saying Hellfire Games Mailing List and a box appearing saying “was only partially imported”…i emailed infogames but…oh well
